Using treesit-explore-mode I see that c-ts-mode regards DEFUN
functions as a sequence of 2 expression_statement nodes.  Here's the
tree corresponding to the DEFUN macro call:

  (expression_statement
   (call_expression
    function: 
     (call_expression function: (identifier) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      arguments: 
       (argument_list (
	(string_literal " ")
	, (identifier) , (identifier) , (number_literal) , (number_literal) ,
		      (number_literal)
	, (identifier)
	(ERROR :)
	(comment) )))
    arguments: 
     (argument_list ( (identifier)
      (ERROR (identifier))
      , (identifier)
      (ERROR (identifier))
      )))
   ;)

The identifier node on the line indicated with "<<<<<" is "DEFUN", so
maybe we can recognize this.  The body of the DEFUN is another
compound_statement node, following the DEFUN's node.
